Request for comments on approval of Batak Toba Wikipedia

by Sotiale Wiki

Hello, everyone. I hope you are staying safe. I would like to ask for comments on the approval of Wp/bbc. It has been active since February 2020, and it has been 17 months that 3 or more editors have been active[1]. There are about 799 pages including templates. Most used core messages have already been translated[2]. The request has already been submitted[3]. I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this. Thank you.

Georgian Wikisource

by Amir E. Aharoni

Hi! Can we perhaps approve Georgian Wikisource already? :) It has LOTS of pages in the Multilingual Wikisource, and recently, they were recategorized. https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=Georgian&cat=1&wiki=sourceswi… I can't think of a reason to keep it there. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

merge of Akan and Twi Wikipedias

by Amir E. Aharoni

Hi, See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_A… I think that the proposal is sensible: * ak is a macro language code ( https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/aka ), which includes Twi (tw) and Fante (fat). Avoiding macro language codes is in line with our general policy. * Anecdotally, over the years, lots of people from Ghana told me about their confusion about where they should write, and in which variety. * Less anecdotally, there has been good activity in the incubator and translatewiki in Fante (fat): translatewiki: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Fat incubator: https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/fat&wiki=in… * There are fewer than 600 articles in ak.wikipedia, and it won't be too hard to move the good content to tw.wikipedia. * There's much more activity in tw.wikipedia than in ak.wikipedia: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_A… * There have been no objections on the discussion page since it was created a month ago. So I'd suggest approving that. I'd further suggest removing Akan as a language for MediaWiki localization: there are almost no translations into it, and almost all of those that exist are identical to the translations of the same strings into Twi ( https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?filter=translated&action=p… ) All that said, I have been talking a lot to editors from Ghana in the last few years, and some of them are personal friends, so it's possible I have a conflict of interest or an incomplete understanding of how things work there. Other opinions are welcome. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬

Suggested approval of Angika Wikipedia

by Jon Harald Søby

Hello all, I would like to suggest the approval of the Angika Wikipedia (anpwiki) [1]. They have had stable activity all year [2], and the most used messages are almost fully translated [3] (only 6 missing messages, but that can be done in a few minutes).

Assamese Wikiquote

by MF-Warburg

I think < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikiquote_Assame…> might fulfill the requirements for approval. Activity is lasting for seven months now and the localisation is in a decent state. But, to be fair, a random selection of pages shows many are rather short and don't seem to have many quotes? https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A… https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A… https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A… https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A… https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%85%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%82%E0%A… I don't know if this is common for Wikiquotes in general. What are your thoughts?

Suggested approval of Okinawan Wikipedia

by Jon Harald Søby

Hello all, I would like to propose the approval of the Okinawan Wikipedia [1]. The activity level has been stable for around a year already [2], and almost all most important messages are translated [3] (only 11 missing). We don't have any expert verification yet – perhaps Yupik or Janwo can help find someone to verify it?
